Hamilton is once again the Scrooge of the starting grid
About fifty million euros. This the compensation that Ferrari will recognize Lewis Hamilton starting from 2025, when the seven-time world champion will wear the much desired red tracksuit of the Maranello Scuderia, an honor that his idol Ayrton Senna did not have.
Considering that the renewal of Charles Leclerc will start from 30 million euros from 2025 and he will move up to Ferrari, they have certainly spared no expense when it comes to the drivers' salaries which from 2025 will stand at 80 million euros per year (fortunately they are not included in the budget cap).
Helmut Marko in some ways he had prophesied Hamilton's move to Ferrari to resolve at least one of the two things that the Englishman cannot digest: “There are two things that Hamilton can't swallow – Marko had declared as reported by the German newspaper F1-insider.com during 2023 – the first is that he is no longer world champion and that it won't be easy to become one again. He knows that he cannot settle in Red Bull and that Ferrari might be better for him than Mercedes is not written in stone. Sporting aspect aside, Hamilton is not at all happy that he is no longer the highest paid driver on the starting grid, given that now the highest paid is Verstappen. This fact can be changed with the help of Ferrari.”. And so it will be.
